Directions
-
Combine 6 cups of water, salt, chopped onion, and chicken in a large stockpot.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 1 hour.
-
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Once cool enough to handle, remove the bones and skin, then chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
-
Skim any excess fat from the surface of the broth.
-
Measure 3 1/2 cups of the hot broth into a clean 6-quart saucepan.
-
Add the chopped chicken, uncooked rice, sliced smoked sausage, herb seasoning, and "chicken and herb" seasoning packet to the saucepan.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low and cover tightly.
-
Simmer gently for 30 minutes, ensuring the lid remains on the entire time to steam the rice.
-
After 30 minutes, check the consistency; if too liquid, uncover and cook for a few more minutes until desired thickness is reached.
